Google Listing Favicon - Not updating

Publishing help Project settings
1

Hello,

I was hoping you may be able to shed some light on this. I’ve been trying for months to get my google listing favicon to update. I had migrated my webflow website to a relume site on webflow. When I did this, my favicon changed to Relume’s logo.

Steps I’ve taken:

  1. I followed the advice of this video, which worked for all of my other webflow websites. Favicon is not showing up on google listing - Publishing help / SEO - Forum | Webflow - 5 March 2024 | Loom.
  2. Here’s the generator I used. And then I put that in the footer code.
    Schema Markup Generator (JSON-LD) | TechnicalSEO.com
  3. I’ve requested for google to re-index my site, a few times.
  4. I’ve tested different file formats and sizes for the favicon. Currently I have a 48px png. Should I try going larger?

Might you have any suggestions? I would be very grateful!

Hi there,

For favicons in Webflow, you’ll need two images:
• A 32x32 pixel image for the standard favicon
• A 256x256 pixel image for the touch icon

To update your favicon:

  1. Go to Project Settings > General tab > Icons
  2. Upload your prepared images
  3. Publish your site
  4. Refresh your live site to see the updated favicon

Please note that search engines may take days, weeks, or even months to re-index and display your updated favicon. While you can request Google to recrawl your site, this doesn’t guarantee faster processing.

Hopefully this helps! If you still need assistance, please reply here so somebody from the community can help.

Hi Rachel, what’s your published site link?

@WebflowAIModerator as @webdev mentions in Favicon not showing in Google search results, but visible in browser tab - #4 by webdev Google’s specific guidelines for search result icons (favicons) state that the image should be a multiple of 48px square.

Why isn’t this updated in WebFlow?

I have taken a look at your site and I think I see the issue. The problem may not be with the favicon itself, but rather with the fact that you are using Relume’s favicon instead of your own custom one. You mentioned that your favicon changed to Relume’s logo when you migrated to Relume site on Webflow.

To fix this, I would suggest going to your Site Settings in Webflow and selecting ‘Custom’ for your favicon. You can then upload your own custom favicon. I would also recommend checking to see if the favicon is correctly linked to your site’s HTML in the ‘Custom Code’ section of your Site Settings.

Good luck!

Google suggested that up until 2024, then removed it entirely from their docs as part of a clarification. Webflow’s rel=”shortcut icon” setup appears to align fine with Google’s requirements. They do recommend > 48px now however.

So nothing to fix, but plenty to improve on.
